Joe Rogan famously said in 2022 he had no interest in helping Donald Trump.
Now, Rogan will pull the lever for the real estate mogul for the first and last time.
The Spotify podcaster made it official after a lengthy Q&A with tech mastermind Elon Musk. The two spoke at length for the last original episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” to debut before Election Day.
NEW: Elon Musk and Joe Rogan rip the Democratic party for spreading hoax after hoax, call out President Barack Obama.
The pair also called out YouTube for the apparent suppression of the Trump-Rogan interview.

The pair broke down the political scene, with an emphasis on the Democrats’ war on free speech. Rogan, like fellow rebel comics Theo Von, Tony Hinchcliffe, Andrew Schulz and Tim Dillon, realizes the First Amendment may be on the line come Election Day.
President Joe Biden’s administration has aggressively clamped down on free speech. Vice President Kamala Harris has vowed to pressure tech platforms to remove “misinformation.” VP candidate Tim Walz has vowed to fight so-called “hate speech,” a nebulous term often used to silence one’s political foes.
And let’s not forget The Twitter Files, which revealed the Left’s successful censorship of right-leaning voices.
Musk, whose politics could once be described as Center-Left, has had a change of heart in recent months. He’s been joining Trump at MAGA rallies, smiting progressives for trying to curtail free speech.
Rogan agrees, apparently.
It’s why Rogan finally took a stand. The comedian and podcaster shared his endorsement on X, the social media platform Musk bought and purged its far-Left censors.
The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn’t for him we’d be f***ed. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.

The move comes on Election Day eve, and it’s unclear if it will change any hearts or minds. That work already might have been done by Rogan.
He recently interviewed Trump on his wildly popular podcast, an episode that generated more than 45 million views alone. That doesn’t include various YouTube clips, extensive exposure on X and countless podcast platforms.
Rogan also chatted with Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance in recent days. Both moves suggested Rogan was leaning in Trump’s direction, but he openly invited Vice President Kamala Harris onto his show, too.
She refused to meet his basic demands, opting for a wan “Saturday Night Live” appearance as a pop culture lifeline instead.
